Vince Mayne, BUCS CEO, commented on the partnership: “We are delighted to have one of the UK’s biggest supermarket chains on board. Our football programme remains one of the most popular, with thousands of athletes taking to field each year, representing their university and developing skills to stand them in great stead for their future career. We look forward to working with Aldi this year and providing them with the opportunity to engage with our talented athletes both on and off the pitch.” 

Kelly Stokes, Aldi HR Director, “The Aldi Graduate Programme plays a key role in our ongoing business growth and securing a partnership with BUCS for the 2022 - 23 season will continue to showcase our commitment to prospective candidates across all of the Universities involved. We’re so excited to engage with the athletes and promote the opportunities available once they graduate”
